When I was potty training DS1 a couple of years ago, he refused to use the potty I bought (a Mothercare Thomas the Tank Engine one) because he said it hurt (and he did get a mark on his back from the sticking up bit at the back, just from trying it a few times). At the time, I thought he was being fussy (he's a bit of a sensitive little soul ). However, I've just got it out again for DS2 (aged 2), and although he's quite keen to have a go, he looks wildly uncomfortable as soon as he sits down, and gets straight up looking a bit stressed. It also looks a bit small - but I don't know, maybe he's got a big bum!! But when he sits down, his willy is basically over the top of the front of it - we'd have to do a fair amount of wiggling about to get him 'in' it, I think. So - are all potties like this, or have I just got a crap one? DS1 went straight onto a padded loo seat (because of his terribly sensitive rear end, don't ya know), so I've never really had dealings with potties. Can anyone advise?
